Tomorrow is my day. It's finally here. Last night I didn't sleep much; and I'm assuming tonight will be no different.

So, as I'm packing my overnight bag, and "nesting" around the house; it got me thinking . . .

What last minute advice do you have for me? Anything you wish you would have done? Any questions you wish you would have asked after surgery?

I still have to make that list up for hubby.

Oh, I'm having a fleur-de-lei w/ lbl; lipo of saddlebags and some fat injection around tailbone.

thanks for your insight.

Don't forget the stool softeners and lip balm. Other than that, the hospital should have you covered. Praying for you- post when you can and let us know how things have gone!

I second the stool softeners... I started the day before and honestly, I was surprised it took my body as long as it did to produce but when it did, they made succccccch a difference! (In my case, surgery was Tuesday and I finally produced late Sunday afternoon!)

Do you have a lift for your toilet seat? If you can get an affordable one, it's worth it! I only used mine for a week but it really helped getting on and off the toilet.

Also, I took a protein shake to hospital with me - I was on post-op clears the first night and the next morning, we got cream of wheat and that was about it. It was stone cold and gross... I asked for 8 oz of milk and I added that to my pre-measured protein powder in my blender bottle... had the nurse shake it up for me and it was awesome to have that morning. Filled me up and set me on a great path to increasing my protein right away (and was still "clear" to help keep my bowels open).

I'll be watching for an update!!
